Polydore Monologue from The Love-Tiff

From The Love-Tiff by Molière

male · joyful · 1:17 min

With all my heart! I am overjoyed that everything has ended so happily, (ALB: I thank Heaven for it.) I do not wish to deceive you; I was afraid you would resent that Lucile has committed a fault with my son; and as you are powerful, have wealth and friends... (ALB: Hey! what do you say of faults and Lucile?) Enough, let us not enter into a useless conversation. I own my son is greatly to blame; nay, if that will satisfy you, I will admit that he alone is at fault; that your daughter was too virtuous, and would never have taken a step so derogatory to honour, had she not been prevailed upon by a wicked seducer; that the wretch has betrayed her innocent modesty, and thus frustrated all your expectations. But since the thing is done, and my prayers have been granted, since we are both at peace and amity, let it be buried in oblivion, and repair the offence by the ceremony of a happy alliance.
